Making Me Happy This Week–3/11/2018

This past Sunday was my birthday! Due to daylight saving time, I only had 23 hours of birthday, ha ha. I made the most of it. Another trip around the sun and I couldn’t be more grateful for my family and friends. That’s what life is all about.

Here’s what’s making me happy this week:

Talking to my sister Joyce on the phone on my birthday.

My birthday lunch at Tip Top Meats in Carlsbad. Some may think it strange that’s where I went for birthday lunch. But I’ve always wanted to try this deli ever since they catered Oktoberfest at my work.

Ordering stuff from the internet, using my bonus money.

My new Old Navy denim jacket. I’ve discovered that since I don’t like to button my jackets, it looks nicer and more fitted if I get one size smaller than my normal size. So I got a small in this jacket and I like the fit much more. Returned the medium.

Taking naps. Seriously the best.

Dinner with Dejah & Roby at Tasty Noodle House. Miss them so much since they moved away! Awesome conversation and great food.

Signing up for the PMT Spring 2018 Style Challenge and buying the few pieces of clothing that I didn’t have yet. I love spring colors and will LOVE Audrey telling me what to wear everyday for 5 weeks starting on April 2nd! You can find out more about it here.

Lunch with the ladies at work at Cheesecake Factory.

Chris Botti concert at CA Center for Arts in Escondido. Was a nice week night out.

Todd’s “Cake-Off” contest at work, and his chocolate prune cake entry. He saved a piece for me. Todd squared off against Meenal. Todd won for taste, and Meenal won for decoration. Todd does not decorate his cakes, but they are always super-tasty!

Doing a Jessica Smith workout. I haven’t worked out regularly in two months, for various reasons. Felt great to move my body.

All the birthday posts on my Facebook wall and birthday texts from family & friends.

Bringing banh mi sandwiches to Jon & Kameran’s house for dinner on Saturday night. We got to hang out, catch up, and Kameran made delicious cake and coffee for dessert.

The birthday breakfast burrito that Todd made me on my birthday.

The homemade beef stroganoff dinner that Todd made me on my birthday.

The white chocolate raspberry bundt cake for my birthday.

This week’s post was full of food, ha ha. I indulged on my birthday week. Better get back to eating well and eating less this week, heh.
